REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, DENPASAR - Britain's Cocaine Queen, Lindsay June Sandiford lodges an appeal to the Supreme Court against the death penalty for her by the Denpasar District Court. Sandiford's lawyer, Fadilah Agus said on Tuesday that the death penalty to his client in case of smuggling 4.7 kilograms of cocaine was wrong, because Article 6 Section 2A (pasal 6 ayat 2A) at Law No. 35/2009 is not exactly meted out to Sandiford.
"No such article in our llegal system," he said.

Agus also mentioned that his client should have got her freedom while Sandiford because she had already apologized, felt remorse and old.
